I'm excited to see this shit go down. Any speculation on who will be the skiers for each team? They don't say in the article. Ian compton commented on it tho, so maybe he'll be there for nordica. He lives in a van anyway so it won't be a big change for him.

Also, they are taking suggestions for challenges. We should get an influx of ideas from the NS community so that we can make this into exactly what we want to see.

The team that skis the most closed down ski hills. Seems pretty fitting for driving all over New England because pretty much every town has one.

i hope they put in a bunch of random challenges like they do in KOTR, like finding girl look-a-likes to team members, dressing like other pros, getting a perm, etc

Wow. How did I not know about KOTR until your post?

I liked the way they presented RTC better than KOTR but definitely think RTC needs a little more KOTR influence.

Eh. I thought that the original RTC was kind of lame in how staged it seemed with the interviews. KOTR is really greasy though. I think if anything it should lean more toward the KOTR side.

Am I the only one who thinks 2 skiers per team is not enough? 3 or even 4 would be much better, at least for the challenges involving doing a specific trick

I agree, but finding skiers to do it is probably tough.

I don't even feel like KOTR is a competition because of single team episodes and no talking. It feels more like a random team edit with more random debauchery than usual. Because of the team switching and talking, RTC felt like a comp. I liked that. Both of these things should be comps glorifying the (for lack of a better word) lifestyle going hard on and off the court.

What I think RTC needs to steal most from KOTR is the debauchery. RTC was tame in that aspect and needs to be turnt up for round 2.

I agree in regards to debauchery. They should have just done 4bi9 v. Hood Crew for that though. But I guess I get where you're coming from. I think KotR is harder to follow what's happening, but RTC needs to up the debauchery.
